Collaborative molecular modeling projects often require seamless sharing and management of structural data, simulation results, and reports. Whether you’re part of a research team or collaborating with external partners, organizing and sharing your work can be a challenge. This is where the Shared Documents feature of SAMSON Connect comes into play.
What are Shared Documents in SAMSON?
The Shared Documents feature allows you to upload, share, and manage molecular design documents directly within the SAMSON ecosystem. You can effortlessly share these documents with selected collaborators or publish them for broader access. This simplifies teamwork, ensuring everyone has access to the same version of the data.
How it Works
With SAMSON, sharing documents has never been easier. By navigating to the SAMSON Connect – Documents section, you can upload your work and set permissions to control who can view or modify it. Once a document is shared, recipients can conveniently download it into their own SAMSON workspace for further analysis or development.
Publishing Documents Directly from SAMSON
One of the highlights of this feature is its integration with the SAMSON platform. You can publish documents directly from SAMSON, streamlining the process of sharing your work without leaving the software environment. This is particularly useful for disseminating results, exporting workflows, or providing access to datasets to collaborators in real time.
Here is an example of the interface for shared documents:
Why Use Shared Documents?
- Efficient collaboration: Eliminate the need for email exchanges or third-party file sharing services. All your shared molecular models and documents are accessible through SAMSON Connect.
- Centralized management: Keep track of who has access to which documents and manage permissions directly from a single platform.
- Integrated workflows: All shared documents are fully compatible with the SAMSON platform, ensuring consistency across collaborators working with molecular data.
Getting Started
